=Twitter:= Twitter is probably the most widely known social networking web 2.0 tool apart from Facebook. Twitter is useful for building up a network of 'friends' whom you can share short messages with about ICT and learning or anything you wish to discuss. One you have established a twitter account, you set about finding friends you can put on your followers list. You can also follow other people either by requesting or by accepting an invitation to become a follower. Each broadcast or 'tweet' is limited to 127 characters so you messages need to be short and succinct. Useful for sharing information. You can search within Twitter for people to follow from Barrak Obama to the local florist: the choice is yours. Students could follow a politician or an knowledge expert. Sign up for Twitter
